The short version

  • Each has a real cost: PathAI aISight is labelled research use only and cannot be used for primary diagnosis; only AISight Dx carries the FDA clearance and CE-IVD mark, and laboratories regularly buy the wrong configuration and discover they cannot sign out on it.; TherapyNotes no API access, preventing integration with external systems
  • They diverge on capability: PathAI covers AISight image management, TherapyNotes covers Electronic Health Records.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

PathAI

  • AISight is labelled research use only and cannot be used for primary diagnosis; only AISight Dx carries the FDA clearance and CE-IVD mark, and laboratories regularly buy the wrong configuration and discover they cannot sign out on it.
  • The software licence is usually the smallest line in a digital pathology project, behind scanners, storage and network capacity, so a business case built around the software cost understates the real investment by a wide margin.
  • Whole slide images are very large, so a laboratory that does not model storage growth and retention policy from the start faces storage costs that grow faster than case volume and dominate the renewal.
  • Clinical validation is required per subspecialty rather than once for the platform, which means dermatopathology, gastrointestinal and breast each need their own concordance study and pathologist time before go live.
  • PathAI competes against pathology incumbents that also sell the scanners, and a laboratory buying an independent image management layer takes on the integration risk between scanner vendor and software vendor itself.

TherapyNotes

  • No API access, preventing integration with external systems
  • Outdated interface compared to AI-driven competitors
  • No native mobile app for iOS or Android
  • No bulk actions to update multiple sessions at once

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

PathAI: What is the difference between AISight and AISight Dx?

AISight is for research use only and not for clinical diagnostic use. AISight Dx received FDA 510(k) clearance in June 2025 for primary diagnosis and is CE-IVD marked in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Only the Dx configuration can be used to sign out cases.

TherapyNotes: Does TherapyNotes integrate with other applications?

TherapyNotes has zero API availability and cannot connect to external systems including marketing platforms, CRMs, or data dashboards. Unlike competitors, it lacks integration capabilities.

Source
PathAI: Can we use our existing scanners?

Yes. AISight is designed to ingest images from multiple whole slide scanner vendors, which is one of the main reasons laboratories choose an independent image management layer.

TherapyNotes: What are TherapyNotes pricing plans?

TherapyNotes charges $69/month for a solo practitioner plan and $79/month for the first clinician in a group with $50/month per additional clinician. A 30-day free trial is included with every plan.

Source
PathAI: Do the AI algorithms carry the same clearance as the platform?

No. The platform clearance covers image management for primary diagnosis. Individual algorithms have their own labelling, and many are research use only. Check each one separately.

TherapyNotes: Does TherapyNotes include telehealth?

Yes. TherapyNotes includes Basic Telehealth at no extra cost on every plan, with standard-definition video for up to 2 participants. Premium Telehealth with full HD, screen sharing, and closed captions costs $15 per clinician per month.

Source
PathAI: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted by slide or case volume, pathologist seats and storage, with the clinically cleared configuration priced separately.
